Heart attacks and strokes are caused by the gradual build-up of fatty plaque in the arteries. This process affects everyone, regardless of age and risk factors.
That’s why it's important for everyone to know the warning signs of heart attack and stroke, and how to monitor and interpret their vital signs at home.
You can use any smartphone or computer. We’ll send you a secure link that works on almost any device. The process is simple so that you can get set up with ease.
Measuring your blood pressure and pulse at home with the same device ensures consistent and accurate baseline readings in your natural environment. Regular monitoring with the same device helps detect changes early and provides crucial information during emergencies, minimizing the impact of device variability and potentially reducing ER visits and hospital stays.
